    One question
    « on: October 08, 2005, 03:43:31 PM »
    I know that computer resolution is defined in pixel (dot per inch).

    How is it related to resolution like 800x600 or 1024x768 pixel?

    1) Does 800x600 mean :

    There are 800 dpi horizontally?

    2) the icons are big for shorter reso,  why??

    Thanks

      My eyes must be good, I can count mine.  :D

      Try 800 total from left to right and 600 total from top to bottom. (Pixels, not dots per inch)

      If you increase it then each Pixel must become smaller to still fit on the screen, so if each Pixel is smaller then it is only logical that each icon displays smaller.

      You guys are funny.  :D

        Does pixel mean a dot ?

        Then i think pixel and dpi are different.
